No, they're not tests.

They're just deleted posts that, for one reason or another, still show in the forums, but since they no longer have any information associated with them, they just default to being posted by 'Guest' at a posting time of 1 January 1970 00:00 UTC (AKA the start of the Unix time).

Here's a time-tested cliché: infodumping. It's one I'm struggling with right now as I try to update BCS to 2022 standards. How do I make it not suck? I want to provide plenty of backstory, but I want to draw people in while still providing a myriad of angles and a diverse palette of problems for my future states to split over.
Especially for those who don't use NationStates -- I'm trying to adapt BCS' rewrite into an anthology about the history of, and life in, North America circa 100 years from today but Book I Chapter 1 is turning out to be a snore, with four minutes of agonizingly dull recounting facts the reader will be well acquainted with if they're interested in this kind of thing.

Had you try to make a narrative with it?

Add bits and pieces that make it sound like a biased source trying to add their own flair?

Images can be good. Show them. Give a picture of what the city looked like, it can be more effective and less boring than a text description.

Yeah under 150 kilobytes.

But they used to have to be under 50 kilobytes and fit within...I believe it was 107x50-something pixels.

Goddamn tiny.

I mean, my tone of writing already adds some snark and sarcasm into the mix, but while I considered it, I just started writing without doing so. I'll see if I can refactor it, but I'll probably end up cutting most of it out. I want to justify the shooty bits, though, and I feel like cutting too much of it would do them a disservice.

An annoying cliche (although niche)

Most nation names corresponding to irl nations, or at least ones I'd like to use (Scotland, Australia, New Zealand and more) are "ancient" and permanently used by people who haven't logged on for years. I'd genuinely like to take, for example, New Zealand, and try to make both a factbook recreation of the government's website and a canon which is an alt-reality but still realistic version of the country.

Very niche I know, but still annoying and fairly commonplace within the "realistic MT nation" niche

It's funny that you mention New Zealand as one you'd genuinely like to take when that player just CTE'd 15 days ago lol.

(Also IIRC this has been a topic that's been brought up before in Technical like 'release real country names that haven't been used in years even if they're over the population limit' but the mods have said that all that will happen is the same thing that happened when they first released nation names: a bunch of them will just end up snatched by like one or two players.)
